For the outside looking in, it seems you guys all get really really sick whenever Donald Trump is in charge. I'm not suggesting a connection, but it is weird.
I see your joke, but covid was under Biden...
Edit: and, apparently, he's still in office. What's the political cycle in the states? I thought orangeman was already elected...
COVID started under Trump and he tried to pretend like it wasn't a big deal. Do you not remember him catching COVID while in office?
Edit: There's an extremely long lag between elections and taking office in the US since the dates for both at the federal level were established in the late 1700s and we haven't bothered to change it. Elections at the beginning of November, take office in January.
I don't really follow foreign politics like I should, so, no, I don't remember that. It is interesting, though.
That is a huge lag. Wow! Thanks for both of those clarifications!
Nah no worries. Not everyone can know everything.
Those who "know everything", never learn anything.
I work with several like that...
The first year of covid was under orange man, he becomes acting president in 2 days.
